Unlinking an email address from the wrong contact

Is an email address linked to the wrong contact? Then emails from that address end up in the wrong archive. Here's how to fix it.

Step 1: unlink the email address

1. Select the contact the email address is wrongly linked to.
2. In the contact widget, under Contact details, right-click the email address.
3. Choose Delete.
4. Tick the option to also unlink all messages from this contact, and confirm.

The emails from that address disappear from this contact's archive.

Step 2: add it to the right contact

Add the email address to the right contact and leave Link all emails to this contact ticked. All emails from that address then automatically go to the right archive. Read how: Editing a contact's details
